I'm annoyed at myself because of this section as I also tried to avoid shooting people as I worried about messing with the past but I left it for the night halfway through and when I came back to it I sort of forgot and just shot a bunch of guys out of habit (it is a bad habit I have; so many faux pas).

I've seen this pulled off in training environments after many failed attempts so it's cool to see it done in a tournament match. It's not the flashiest combo but it really is a tough one, and it shows how dangerous Guile can be if you don't watch your positioning.

I don't think fighting games aren't much less popular than they were with the resurgence the genre had with SFIV. I think young folk can still have now what we had when we were young, at least locally, just playing it like you're bashing action figures together, much like you guys in the video ;-)
So you can still play them for fun, they are more accessible than ever.

I think the difference now is two things: It is because of online so you see how good you can get at this game very easily (and how easily you can be beat), and you also have YouTube and Twitch that also show you high level play. This is going to have one of two effects: You're either going to look at all this and think 'nope'! or actually want to get involved in a big way. That wasn't there before unless you were perhaps in a good arcade scene back in the day.

I think I would encourage trying to get into fighting games; it's a very satisfying style of gaming, and in a world where the Souls games and Monster Hunter are increasing n popularity they're not that outside of many peoples skill levels. They do kinda require a similar mindset. Reply0

@AaronTurner This turns up a lot when it comes Monster Hunter but I do think a lot of PS4 owners would play it a little, realise it doesn't control like Uncharted or Assassin's Creed then drop it like a stone. I don't think it would even do nearly as well as a Souls game.

Not saying it shouldn't come to PS4, I just don't think it would bloom there as much as people think.

But this was the first Monster Hunter I clicked with and I'm glad I stuck with it. Lovely game. Reply+1

It's a shame the PS3 and 360 version weren't tested as I think that would be a more interesting piece for readers since there is quite a price difference between last gen and current gen versions, and surely I'm not the only one who would like to know whether it is worth going for the current gen version or not.

@DasManiac Sure, but I think the remaining talent could do a good job with Prime.

I don't want a new Prime, personally, since that was wrapped up nicely and I don't know what could be done with it that is as interesting as those games were at their release. But saying that, I'm sure today's RS would make a cool Metroid game. Reply0

@DasManiac I know the Retro Studios Donkey Kong games don't wow in a flashy way but those games have some really smart design to them. To say that there is no remaining talent at RS is nonsense. Reply+3

Sure, it's based on a smartphone game but there is enough pedigree here to give it the benefit of the doubt. I'd try the Android version out if my phone wasn't a total pile of rubbish in the shape of a phone. Reply0

@VANGUARD-CAT Yeah, bringing it more in line with 2 and 3 would be the way to go. I last played ME1 about 3 years ago and after finishing it vouched never to touch it again. Cool story but such a horrible mess of loose mechanics and badly thought out RPG systems. Reply-4
